Monolith Materials

Monolith Materials is an American clean energy and advanced materials company founded in 2012, pioneering commercial-scale methane pyrolysis to produce carbon black and hydrogen without CO2 emissions. Headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska, with its flagship Olive Creek 1 (OC1) facility in Hallam, NE, Monolith is the first new American-owned carbon black producer to build U.S. capacity in over 50 years. Its proprietary thermal plasma hydrocarbon pyrolysis technology uses renewable electricity to split natural gas into clean hydrogen and solid carbon materials. The company's carbon black is used in millions of tires and automotive components across North America, and it is planning a major expansion into one of the world's largest carbon black manufacturing campuses at its Nebraska site.
